Chapter 355
TL: Zimmings
I hurriedly looked around.
‘When I regressed, I always wake up in the Empress Dowager’s room, but this is… … .’
Through a window in an unfamiliar room, I saw a familiar landscape.
A familiar garden.
It was the garden of Dubblede Castle, where I was looking for carnations.
‘But there is no such room in the castle.’
There was no such room anywhere in the east or west of the castle.
Reina lifted me up by hugging me, who was crouched.
“Why is my lady so scared? Did you have a nightmare?”
She leaned her forehead against my head and moved my hand lightly with the tip of her index finger and thumb.
There was another unfamiliar thing besides the room.
All of Dubblede’s servants were meticulous and capable, but they weren’t capable in taking care of children.
Considering the past of Lea, Dahlia, Linda, and Yuni, most of them didn’t have the experiece to take care of a child.
My older brothers grew so fast, and the servants who raised them were owned by our predecessor. My father ousted his predecessor and killed all the servants involved.
Therefore, there were no servants familiar with childcare.
But Reina was very familiar with the child. Her hugs weren’t awkward.
I’m relieved just to be hugged like this because I had experience the bad skills of the current Dubblede servants.
I let out a sigh and leaned my head against her arms.
“Nanny.”
A knock was heard and the maids entered.
It was Linda and some other maids.
‘This is the west wing, but why are the servants of the east wing here?’
Even when I was young, the east and west wings were completely separated.
The east wing is a place for the secretariat, administrative, meeting halls, and reception of external guests, while the west wing is a space exclusively for Dubblede’s blood relatives.
Therefore, the servants often gets compared and didn’t get along well.
‘But the west wing was not easily accessible by the servants of the east wing, so how?’
“The meal is ready.”
“Let’s go!”
Reina looked at me and said, “Shall we go?” and I nodded in her arms.
The meal was good.
Perhaps it was not just my body that became younger, but when I was hungry, I also become like a child exactly like before.
I struggled leaving the room in Reina’s arms.
‘I really regressed.’
If I regressed, why is it different from before?
How is Reina alive?
Why did Dubblede change?
As we approached the dining room, the guards opened the door.
A huge door decorated with ivory opened, and a familiar table was seen. Also…
“Did you sleep well?”
I stared at the woman who reached out towards me.
“Huh?”
“She must have had a nightmare. From the moment she woke up, she was in a bad mood.”
“Yes? What kind of terrifying dream Leblaine had?”
She and Reina chuckled. My brothers also ran towards me.
“Child, did you have a scary dream?”
“Hey, the nanny told us not to grab her like that.”
“Come here, Leblaine.”
“No, come to me, not older brother.”
Isaac, Henry, and Johann reached out to me.
The woman stopped the children and carried me instead.
I looked at her blankly and muttered.
“Mom…….”
She smiled brightly.
“Yes.”
It was a world with her that I had dreamed of.
Dad came in. He looked at me in my mother’s arms and asked.
“What’s going on, Lisette?”
I realized something.
When God disappeared I returned to the place where I had to go.
This place where I arrived was in the past where Neliard did not exist.
***
“Let go when I’m still nice.”
“Let me go!”
Kick!
Isaac kicked Henry’s calf and I screamed.
“Older brother is kicked! Aaaaah, Mom!”
“Noisy.”
As Isaac and Henry quarreled, my mother who had me seated on the chair shouted.
“These children, I said that if you fight again, I’ll hang you naked, didn’t I?!”
I looked at my mother and was startled by her.
‘Wow… … .’
My mother used to be like this. Well, she had introduced herself as the crazy dog of the temple before.
At the mother’s scolding, Henry and Isaac flinched. The two pouted.
‘When my mother is there, my brothers are like ordinary children.’
In the future when my mother was absent, theyI became frighteningly cold to protect themselves.
Reina casually put a hairband on me as if this scene was familiar.
My mother turned to me and muttered with a hardened face.
“Oh my god…….”
Reina also nodded with a serious expression.
“An angel…”
“I gave birth to an angel.”
Mom rubbing her face against my cheek with excitement.
“Aaaah, my Leblaine is cute.”
“Mom, it huwts… (Mom, it hurts…)”
“Ah! My angel!”
Mom, so you were someone like this… … .
I realized the reason why Lea and my dad used to say If my mom had seen me, the castle would have been turned upside down.
Mom, who grabbed my waist and lifted me up, smiled mischievously.
“It’s fun raising a daughter!”
The maids also said the same thing.
“It’s fun raising the lady!”
With those words, I could tell how hard it was to raise the brothers.
Johann, who was sitting opposite me and reading a book, sighed.
“Mother, it’s dangerous.”
Johann took me from my mother and let me sit in a chair.
Mom was very disappointed, but the administrators came to find her.
“It’s audience time.”
Audience?
When I looked at them questioningly, Isaac, who came to me, poked me in the cheek and said.
“She’ll listen to the situation of our people.”
“The pweople want to tawk? (The people want to talk?)”
“Of course. My mother is violent, but she’s a good lord.”
In the absence of a mother, the Dubblede’s Territory people were afraid of us. Sometimes, when my father went on an inspection of the territory, there was no one who raised their heads.
Come to think of it, there were more people coming and going to the castle than before. Ones with a bright expression.
Henry followed the administrator and asked his mother to leave several times.
“Don’t get too violent when you hear the complaints of the people, mother.”
“Yes. I’ll be careful.”
“Please don’t cause any trouble.”
“Yes.”
“There should be no more beating, okay?”
“Of course.”
“Don’t just say things like that. Keep your words.”
Mother smiled, pinching Henry’s cheek slightly.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep in mind my cutie’s words. I beat him up like that last time because he exploit relief funds again.”
“Even so, you can’t beat them up. You know what my father gave to Chairman Nuanoke to solve it.”
“That Nuanoke… one day I’m going to rip off his hair.”
The chairman’s hair?!
I was startled, and Henry shouted.
“Please don’t say such things!”
Mom left the room with a pleasant smile.
My older brothers also left one by one for their lesson, and the teacher who came to pick him up was Teramore. The old man who abused Henry.
Henry followed Viscount Teramore with a nonchalant face, but I grabbed him.
“Bad gwanpa!”
Henry, Isaac, and Johann quickly stared at Teramore with a terrifying look.
A red aura fluttered from Henry’s hand.
“Viscount, did you do anything to my sister?”
“N-no! How dare I do anything to your family!”
“If you say that, why is our little sister, the most gentle, saying something like this?”
“I’m sorry, master!”
Teramore lay flat in front of Henry and almost prayed.
I thought at the sight.
‘Oh, I see.’
Teramore can’t do anything because our mother is properly monitoring him.
Henry’s trauma to the elderly seems to be very relieved because of mother.
Henry looked at Teramore with a questionable expression before leaving the room first.
“Where are you going, master?”
“It’s suspicious. I’ll have to tell my father.”
“Ma- master!?”
I looked at Teramore who cluelessly chased after Henry.
The world without Neliard was so peaceful.
Heart-warming scenery, people without wounds, and a beautiful world created by it.
It was so perfect that I thought I wanted to stay here.
“…….”
I clenched my skirt tightly and shook my head to shake off my thoughts.
‘Let’s find Adrian.’
There must be a reason why my mother told me to go here.
Adrian might be here.
I took a big breath and left the door. Reina, who was organizing the greenhouse, shouted, “Lady!”
“Where are you going?”
I was not as protected as before.
Since the castle of Dubblede is no longer dangerous for children.
I was a child of fate. So Lea was afraid of leaving me alone.
I said,
“That… (That’s…)”
“Want to go for a walk? Will you be back by snack time?”
“Uh?”
“Should I get you a coat? Is it hot?”
“Oh, no.”
Reina casually let me walk alone.
‘How safe is a world without a temple?’
As I walked down the hallway alone, I tilted my head.
‘Well… … Let’s go to a crowded place first.’
I need to find out what’s going on here.
I ran out of the building. Many people were coming and going because the garden’s construction.
‘Among them, the one who looks light-hearted enough to tell the child what’s going on…’
I was looking at them when I bumped into someone.
“Ah!”
My but hit the ground. When I looked up, I saw a boy with brown hair wearing a hat.
“I’m sorry.”
“No. It’s fwine.”
“…….”
Finding people comes first.
Just in time, I saw a gardener who looked extremely easy going, so I waved at the boy and ran.
I didn’t know at that time.
That the pain in my butt because of me falling is gone.
Just like the first day I met that boy.
